1. Product Description

This app user manual is for BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG users. There are some tips for other

OMRON blood pressure monitor users as well. If you have other OMRON blood pressure monitors, refer

to sub-section 6.6.

The app powered by OMRON Healthcare is a smartphone application that supports clinical-quality

electrocardiogram (EKG) recorder, BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG. Unless specically mentioned

by name, this manual will refer to the OMRON compatible smartphone application as the “Phone app”.

Users may use the Phone app to record and display EKGs using BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG

with their smartphones. The Phone app also provides instant analysis of the recorded EKG to evaluate

whether the heart rhythm is normal or if possible atrial brillation, bradycardia and tachycardia are

detected.

The default duration of the recording is 30 seconds. Users may extend the EKG recording duration

on the Phone app to a maximum time period of 5 minutes. The Phone app allows users to take an

unlimited number of recordings and mail each to themselves or their physicians. In addition, if using

the premium feature, the Phone app can store and allow access to your entire EKG history in the cloud.

Refer to sub-section 6.2.

Patients with known or suspected heart conditions as well as health conscious individuals can use

BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG to record an EKG daily or whenever they are feeling symptoms

and to share their recordings with their physician. Medical professionals can quickly assess rate and

rhythm, screen for arrhythmias, and remotely engage with patients who use BP7900 Blood Pressure

Monitor + EKG.

The BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG product is used with a user-supplied compatible

smartphone. The BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG product consists of:

1. BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG - a monitor with an arm cu for blood pressure measurement

and electrodes to sense and transmit EKG rhythms to the smartphone.

2. Phone App - used to collect, view, and save EKG recordings and to wirelessly transmit to the OMRON

Healthcare server.

2. What is Atrial Fibrillation?

The most common type of non‐sinus tachyarrhythmia is atrial brillation. In atrial brillation,

disorganized electrical impulses that originate in the atria and pulmonary veins initiate the electrical

activity in the conduction system of the heart. This causes what are commonly termed as “irregularly

irregular” heart beats.

When a heart is in atrial brillation, its two upper chambers, the right and left atria, essentially quiver

instead of beating eciently. This does not allow for complete emptying of the atria and thus blood

may become stagnant and create blood clots. This can lead to major health problems, including

strokes, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), and pulmonary emboli (PEs); depending which chamber of

the heart has the blood clot in it.

Approximately 15 percent of strokes occur in people with atrial brillation. As age increases in a

population, so too does the incidence of atrial brillation, which peaks at about 3‐5% in people over

the age of 65.

The most common presenting symptoms of atrial brillation are palpitations, dizziness, fast heart rate,

irregularly irregular rhythm, an abnormal heart sound (S1), chest pain, chronic shortness of breath,

abnormal jugular venous pressure, fatigue, and impaired exercise tolerance. Other symptoms related

to TIAs and strokes may be the initial symptoms of atrial brillation.

Some of the most common causes of atrial brillation are long‐standing hypertension, congestive

heart disease, cardiac valvular lesions, myocardial infarctions, history of coronary artery bypass grafts,

hyperthyroidism, alcohol abuse, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and electrolyte imbalances.

3. Detectors

When the EKG recording is nished by using the device, the Phone app provides instant analysis

of the recorded EKG to evaluate whether the heart rhythm is normal or if possible atrial brillation

is detected. The result is displayed as Possible Atrial Fibrillation (or AFib), Bradycardia, Tachycardia,

Normal, Unreadable or Unclassied.

NOTE:

Your EKG must be at least 30 seconds long to use the Atrial Fibrillation, Bradycardia, Tachycardia and

Normal detectors. If an EKG is recorded that is less than 30 seconds, neither the Atrial Fibrillation,

nor the Bradycardia, nor the Tachycardia and not the Normal detector will display a result.

Atrial Fibrillation Detector

The Atrial Fibrillation detector detects possible atrial brillation in an EKG tracing. After you take an

EKG, if possible atrial brillation is detected you will be notied as ”Possible Atrial Fibrillation (or AFib)”

within the app. This nding is not a diagnosis; it is only a potential nding for the recorded EKG. You

should contact your physician to review any EKG recording in which possible atrial brillation was

detected. If you are experiencing any symptoms or concerns, contact a medical professional.

Bradycardia Detector

Bradycardia detector detects bradycardia, in an EKG tracing.

After you record an EKG, if bradycardia is detected you will be notied as Bradycardia within the app.

Bradycardia means a type of arrhythmia due to slower heart rate (40-50 beats per minute).

The app analyzes EKGs to detect normal sinus rhythm without major abnormalities between 40-50

beats per minute.

Tachycardia Detector

Tachycardia detector detects tachycardia, in an EKG tracing.

After you record an EKG, if tachycardia is detected you will be notied as Tachycardia within the app.

Tachycardia means a type of arrhythmia due to faster heart rate (100-140 beats per minute).

The app detects normal sinus rhythm without major abnormalities at these heart rates.

Normal Detector

The Normal detector noties you as “Normal” when a recording is normal. This means that the heart

rate is between 50 and 100 beats per minute, there are no or very few abnormal beats, and the shape,

timing and duration of each beat is considered normal sinus rhythm. It is important to remember that

there is a wide range of normal variability among dierent individuals. Changes in the shape or timing

of an EKG might be normal for a single individual, but since the apps are used by a large and diverse

population, the Normal detector has been designed to be conservative with what it detects as normal.

If you have been diagnosed with a condition that aects the shape of your EKG (e.g., intraventricular

conduction delay, left or right bundle branch block, Wol-Parkinson-White Syndrome, etc.), experience

a large number of premature ventricular or atrial contractions (PVC and PAC), are experiencing an

arrhythmia, or took a poor-quality recording it is unlikely that you will be notied that your EKG is normal.

It is also important to note that the Normal detector looks at the entire signal before determining if

it can be declared to be normal. If you experience a small number of PACs or PVCs in a recording of

otherwise normal beats in normal rhythm, the Normal detector will likely declare that EKG recording

to be normal. The Normal detector will not declare an EKG outside the heart rate of 50-100 beats per

minute as normal, even if the EKG has normal sinus rhythm. As a result, if you typically get “Normal”

results but take an EKG immediately after any physical activity that raises your heart rate above 100

beats per minute, you may not get a “Normal” result.

Unreadable Detector

The Unreadable detector determines whether a recording can be accurately interpreted or not. After

you take an EKG, if interference is detected you will be notied within the app as “Unreadable” that

your recording has “No analysis” and given some suggestions for acquiring good quality EKG recording.

You subsequently have the option to Save the recording or Try Again. If the recording can be analyzed,

the Atrial Fibrillation, Bradycardia, Tachycardia and Normal detectors will run on the EKG and inform

you as described above.

Unclassied

The Phone app may display the Unclassied message for an EKG recording that was not detected

as Normal, nor as Possible Atrial Fibrillation, nor as Bradycardia, nor as Tachycardia, and not as

Unreadable. Unclassied means the result is not Normal, nor Possible Atrial Fibrillation, nor

Bradycardia, nor Tachycardia and not Unreadable. Unclassied result may be normal rhythms, such as

when your heart rate is higher than 100 beats per minute after physical activity, or abnormal rhythms;

if you consistently get unclassied results, you may want to share these EKG recordings with your

physician. You can send the recordings by email.

NOTE: Other than Possible Atrial Fibrillation, Bradycardia,Tachycardia, Normal, Unclassied and

Unreadable, EKG error messages may appear on the app due to some reasons such as a

shortage of recording time, too noisy to interpret or etc. If EKG error messages appear, follow

the suggestions on the app.

Change the battery

For changing the battery, see sub-section 2.1 “Installing Batteries” in the

instruction manual for BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG is provided

with the monitor. Or visit: OmronHealthcare.com

I have a lot of artifact,

noise, interference,

or see “No EKG” in my

recording.

Try the following tips for acquiring the best quality EKG recording:

•Ensure that the “Enhanced Filter” is on.

•Clean the electrodes on BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG with an

alcohol-based sanitizer.

•If hands are very dry, use a water-based lotion before recording.

•Relax the arms and hands to reduce muscle noise. Rest the forearms and

hands on a at surface and let BP7900 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG

rest on the hands.

•Ensure that your smartphone is not charging/syncing and you are not

using headphones with your smartphone during the recording.

•Make sure that both the smartphone and the user remain still during

EKG recordings. Movement during recordings will cause noise in the

tracing.

•Make sure Mains Filter is set appropriately for your geographical

location. This can be adjusted under the Phone app Settings.

The EKG rhythms

appear upside down.

To invert a recording on your smartphone , see section 7, “Invert the EKG

Recording”.

I forgot my password

and I’m unable to reset

it.

If you forget your password, tap on the “Password Reset” link in the Phone

app login screen. We’ll send a link and further instructions to the email

address that you used to set up and access the Phone app.

Problem Solution

The PDF Report looks

slightly dierent on

the Web and in my

App.

There is a 2.5 millisecond (thousandth of a second) dierence in where

the PDF starts for the Web Application and the Mobile Application. There

is no dierence in the recording and it will not impact how your EKG is

interpreted.

I see large spikes at the

start of my recording.

Large amounts of noise/artifact can be seen for the rst few milliseconds of

a recording when the Enhanced Filter is looking for your heartbeat. This is

very rare and only lasts until your rst heartbeat is seen in the Phone app;

this doesn’t aect the rest of your recording.

I need a printed
